14 DAYS TIL 30
In the last 30 years I’m proud of/grateful for: my time management skills.
While important for everyone to have, with CF time management is crucial. If I’m efficient and manage my time well, I can feel like a normal healthy person who’s schedule isn’t dictated my my disease.
For me, multi-tasking is the way I accomplish this. A typical work morning involves me eating a quick breakfast while I sterilize my nebulizers by boiling them right when I wake up. While I do my vest and nebulizers, I drink the rest of my coffee, put on my make up, fix my hair, get dressed (when vest is done but more nebulizers remain), check email/facebook/etc. all while watching the news and sitting in bed. I shower at night to make the morning routine shorter. After nebulizers are finished, I just need to put on my shoes, grab my things, let the dogs out, and head out the door.
This morning (a Sunday), I started a pot of chili in the crockpot and a load of laundry while waiting for my nebulizers to disinfect, so by the time I finished my morning therapy I had laundry mostly complete (put it in the drier in between my vest and starting my TOBI nebulizer) and my week’s lunches cooked. The shower also simultaneously cleaned itself with no-scrub shower spray. I felt and am still feeling quite accomplished.
How I celebrated: Matt is taking me to a play at his school put on by the drama department this afternoon. Several of his students are in it. I’m excited because I love plays.
